St Austell Brewery’s annual Celtic Beer Festival, taking place on Saturday, November 28, will feature beers created in its new small batch brewery.

Taking inspiration from all corners of the world, St Austell Brewery is producing all sorts of styles on this new kit, from Belgian beer to Eden Project-inspired pints.

Roger Ryman, brewing director at St Austell Brewery, said: “All of our leading brands, including Tribute, Proper Job and Korev, started as experimental brews. With the small batch brewery we can produce more limited edition beers, some of which could be the new brands of the future.”

One of the first beers brewed in the brewery was a Belgian-style dubbel beer called Cardinal Syn, which is a rich malty beer with some spicy characteristics. It will be available at this year’s beer festival.

The Small Batch Brewery will build on the success of the company’s previous microbrewery. But with the opportunity to brew 3,000 pints at any one time instead of the previous 600, St Austell is keen to provide its managed estate with a constantly changing selection of new styles for customers to experience.

The Celtic Beer Festival is on Saturday, November 28 at St Austell Brewery, from 11am until 11pm, with tickets sold on the door at £10 per person. This includes a commemorative festival glass, two half-pint beer tokens and a festival brochure, with extra tokens available for purchase in the festival. There is live music and several bars

Rob Orton, brewing team leader at St Austell Brewery, said: “We brew some fantastic beers for the St Austell Brewery beer festival and other events and wanted to be able to share them with more people than ever before.

“This gives us the opportunity to build on our brewing skills and create a whole new world of beers for people to enjoy. People’s tastes are changing and we want to reflect this by showcasing the amazing styles that we can produce here.”

The brewery will supply 35 St Austell pubs with the new styles, with pubs joining a small batch beer club to make the most of the latest tipples coming out of the brewery.

Rob added: “People are becoming a lot more aware of what they enjoy and they are curious, but this isn’t just about making new beers. It is about perfecting recipes and increasing our knowledge as brewers, learning how different ingredients work at different stages.

“There are well over 100 varieties of hops that all give different flavours so we are looking forward to playing with flavours and styles and making good quality beer as we always have.”

Visitors to St Austell Brewery will also be able to see the creative beer-making process first hand as the small batch brewery becomes part of the company’s enhanced visitor experience in 2016.
